Race is here assumed as a superimposed category, rather than a biological reality, in keeping with recent trends in African-American studies. Wright's fiction and almost all of his non-fiction lift beyond the mainstays of African-American culture to explore the potentialities and limits of black trans-nationalism. Wright's trans-native status, his perpetual \"outsidedness\" mixed with the \"essential humanness\" of his activist and literary efforts are at the core of the innovative approaches to his work included here.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086094196887,"sku":"9781623562311","price":16493.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781623562311.webp?v=1767142915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/richard-wright-in-a-post-racial-imaginary-9781623562311","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
